Both the tach and the EPS are controlled via the CANBUS from the crankshaft position signal. We replicated the signal by machining the Subaru timing gear wheel into the front of the GM harmonic balancer and made a bracket to support the Subaru sensor to look at the wheel.

Updates? Curious to see weight difference between transmissions and the difference between the engines. Also can you confirm how the swap impacts the center of gravity?

The swap added about 150lbs to the car. We corner balanced it at it came in at 3040lbs and a weight balance of 53/47.

Just a quick update to the thread. We added a set of WCCH heads, Fast 92mm intake manifold, ported throttle body, and a Nitrous Outlet 150shot nozzle kit to the car. Made over 550whp on our dyno and then bent a rod (stock) on the street in 4th gear.

Torque Monster!

We're removing the engine this week to install a set of Lunati upgraded rods and then taking the car to the track to see what it will do on the full hit.
